Innovative Approaches to Boosting Students’ Self-Efficacy in English Classes

Self-efficacy, learners’ belief that they can learn and improve, has an essential role in the Danish curriculum. However, in a classroom full of students from different backgrounds and a wide range of proficiency levels, teachers find it challenging to create an engaging and positive language learning environment. In this talk, as the project coordinator of Alminde-Viuf Fællesskole from Denmark, I will share best practices and lessons learned from our participation in the iBUILD-IT project. With specific examples from the Danish context, we also aim to guide the participants on successfully integrating innovative approaches to boost learners’ self-efficacy in English classes through differentiation while revealing potential challenges and ways to overcome them.
